Maybe it would be a good idea to make a poll including all close fights and see what is general opinion about them.

IMO Ali should lose Norton III and Young, I do not buy the story about "taking the fight to the champion" - the champion is already protected enough by the fact that he keeps his belt in case of a draw.

Shavers could go either way, and while the referee could give Lyle the benefit of a doubt I believe Ali would win anyway.
